FK Bodø/Glimt is set to face IK Start in a crucial Eliteserien match on Thursday, April 30th. The round 18 clash will take place at Aspmyra Stadion, where Glimt will look to build on their recent success.

The Yellow and Blacks are coming off a solid 2-0 away win against Lillestrøm last weekend. Hakon Evjen's 37th-minute strike put Bodø/Glimt ahead at the break, and Kasper Hogh doubled their advantage three minutes into the second half, securing a routine victory.

IK Start, however, suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat away to HamKam, letting a lead slip. Eirik Schulze put Start ahead in the 47th minute, but Mame Niang equalized in the 78th minute, and Markus Johnsgard completed the turnaround with three minutes left in regulation time.

This match holds significant importance for both teams in the Eliteserien standings. The loss left the Sor Arena outfit, IK Start, second-from-bottom in the table, having garnered just three points from six games. Bodø/Glimt currently sits in fifth spot with ten points to their name.

Historically, Bodø/Glimt holds a slight advantage in head-to-head encounters. From the last 31 games, Glimt has secured 12 wins, while Start has been victorious 10 times. Nine matches have ended in a share of the spoils.
